As a rule, I am always looking to keep my shoe closet diversified to ensure that there are multiple options for wardrobe pairing. A printed shoe was something I was lacking, but then life brought me the IRIZA. The CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN IRIZA pump is a HalfD'Orsay that is offered in several colors, fabrications, and heel heights. I opted for the satin leopard-print version from Spring / Summer 2014 in 100mm. With a pointed toe and a cut out vamp it is a rather classic style that will work with a pant or a dress, but the print adds character. Not to mention that black and white is always a classic combination. This LOUBOUTIN was a great investment and as you know, I like to take care of my investments. Before I wore these, I had the bottoms covered with rubber to safeguard their longevity. This also ensures that my red soles remain red on my feet and in my soul.

If your feet are unwell, how far do you think you will go? Chances are you're not going to leave your house barefoot.

Upon entering the exhibit, you can hear the click clack of high heels against a floor through the speakers. A familiar sound I instantly recognized due to my penchant for these types of footwear. What a way to set the tone. I could tell this show was definitely going to be all about shoes...
